PARMA, MI – The Western School District's Child Enrichment Center director has been fired for unprofessional behavior, including insubordination.

Ernie Marr III was dismissed by a unanimous vote of the Western School Board on Thursday, July 17.

The action comes after an investigation by district officials regarding concerns reported to them about a relationship Marr was having with a subordinate he supervised, Western Superintendent Mike Smajda said.

During the investigation, Marr was directed not to have communication with this employee, which he violated several times, Smajda said.
